I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, Lowlands away, my John!
I dreamed a dream the other night
Lowlands, my Lowlands, away!

My love she came all dressed in white
Lowlands, Lowlands away, my John!
My love she came all dressed in white
Lowlands, my Lowlands, away!

No word she said no sound she made
Lowlands, Lowlands away, my John!
No word she said no sound she made
Lowlands, my Lowlands, away!

An' bravely in her bosom fair
Lowlands, Lowlands away, my John!
Oh, a red, red rose my love did wear
Lowlands, my Lowlands, away!

And then I knew my love was dead
Lowlands, Lowlands away, my John!
Oh, and then I knew my love was dead
Lowlands, my Lowlands, away!

Then I awoke to hear the call:
Lowlands, Lowlands away, my John!
”All hands on deck, all hands up haul!”
Lowlands, my Lowlands, away!
